Which of the following best describes a property of water?
A. Requiring a low amount of heat to change temperature
B. Being unable to make many solutions
C. Remaining liquid over a wide temperature range
D. Having low surface tension

Respuesta :

Answer

Option C is correct (Remaining liquid over a wide temperature range )

Explanation

Option A

Option A is not correct because water has a high specific heat capacity, which is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Option B

Option B is not correct because water act as good solvent to  make many solutions

Option C

Option C is correct because Water is liquid over a 100degC range, by comparison at standard 1 atm pressure because water is being a very polar substance and forming very strong hydrogen bonds with itself  until it get into the extremely acidic gases like HF.

Option D

Option D is not Correct Because of the relatively high attraction of water molecules for each other through a web of hydrogen bonds, water has a higher surface tension about 72.8 mili newtons per meter at 20 °C compared to that of most other liquids.
